The EndBeing passionate about a subject doesn't necessarily translate into finding the time or money to create content for a blog. I no longer have enough of either for Building Minnesota ... so I'll be tucking my keyboard into the closet. However, I won't hit the "delete blog" button yet, just in case folks want to access its content. Thanks for reading. Bye.

Many blogs are alot of off the cuffyada yada yada...taking but a fewmoments to write...but Building Minnesota seems to have involvedmuch more work and thought than that...this really has been a tremendous effort...like a publication for the web...

Co-workers may have helped with some of the labor...but they would not have had your vision.

Thank you for all your work and effort. I know that you'll be missed, and I hope that you can continue to do your work, and perhaps even post something new here from time to time, even if its sporadic or just a link to work you are doing elsewhere... I thoroughly enjoyed it and read when I could. Now that I'm no longer in Minnesota, I will miss this as a link to what's happening 'back home' architecturally.
